Calling all young budding artists! A competition has been launched which will see one lucky winner's design emblazoned across hundreds of T-shirts at the 2018 ABP Humber Coastal Half Marathon.

ABP, the headline sponsor of the Half Marathon event, is offering children in our region aged under 15 the chance to design their own finisher T-shirt for the race, which is due to take place on Sunday, September 16.

With almost half of the places for the event already snapped up in the first few weeks by runners, the winning design will be worn by over 2,000 people.

The lucky winner will not only have their design created into a finisher T-shirt, but will also win free entry for their family to join the St Hugh’s Fun Run, which will follow on straight after the half marathon.

"We are encouraging local community groups, schools and children from all over the Humber region to get involved," said Sarah West, head of ABP’s Humber International Terminal and keen marathon runner.

"It’s a great project to allow children’s imaginations to run wild."

Competition entries are now open and hopefuls can download their entry poster either from the event day website, clicking on the link below or by checking out the race day social media pages for more information.

With the success of the local Park Runs in the region, a new 5k course has also been added to the half marathon route which will enable new runners to join in with the excitement of being part of an organised race.
